i absolutely agree. i've been playing since the 8th of april and these are the changes i would like to see so far:
allow furniture to be sold and traded with friends
allow essence to be bought for leaf tickets at a SENSIBLE rate
the introduction of perfect fruit for extra friendship exp
a choice of what villager to 'gain' when we level up (been waiting for francine forever)
but i will say this, in recognition of nintendo making positive changes - as a long time AC player, i am DELIGHTED that we can change the clothes on our villagers - it seems like SUCH a small thing but after literal years of sending clothes in the mail to my villagers to get them to stop wearing whatever hideous shirt they picked up, this is like a soothing balm on my tired and frustrated heart haha.
